The weights are copied from the other meshes bound to the same Skeleton. The weights are copied by projection. So the closer the target mesh shape matches to the source meshes shape, the better will be the weight copy results.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The Weight Copy Mapping<\/h3>\n
\n
\n

The Weight Copy Tool makes use of Blender’s Transfer Weights tool. This tool supports a few different methods for how to map the source weights to the target mesh.<\/p>\n

On top of this we have added one more transfer option Smart Face Interpolated<\/span><\/em>. This is a mix of different tools which sometimes gives more pleasant results than Blender’s original tools.<\/p>\n

Please experiment with the mappings until you find the one that matches best your situation. There is no right or wrong here. The hover tooltips may give you some hints.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Note:<\/strong><\/span> The Smart Face interpolated<\/em><\/span> mapping is available only when you have selected experimental mode in the Workflow panel.<\/p>\n

Copy weight from …<\/h3>\n
\n
\n

All recognized Weight sources are listed in the Weight Sources widget. Here you select the meshes from which your target mesh shall receive the weights.<\/p>\n

Important<\/strong>: Currently only meshes can be used as weight sources when they are bound to the same Avastar Rig. You must select at least one weight source mesh before you can do a weight source copy.<\/p>\n

Tip: You can click the eye icons to hide meshes, but then you probably want to enable the Show hidden Sources<\/em><\/span> option as well (image)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

List all bound meshes for this Armature. Hidden meshes will have their eye icon turned off.<\/p>\n
